            <p>Using the themes is as easy as downloading a CSS file and replacing the one that comes with <a href="https://getbootstrap.com" target="_blank">Bootstrap</a>.</p>
            <p>The themes are also available via CDN at <a href="http://www.bootstrapcdn.com/bootswatch/">BootstrapCDN</a>.</p>

            <h1 id="customization">Customization</h1>
            <p>To modify a theme or create your own, follow the steps below in your terminal. You'll need to have <a href="https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git" target="_blank">Git</a> and <a href="http://nodejs.org/" target="_blank">Node</a> installed.</p>
            <ol>
              <li><p>Download the repository: <code>git clone https://github.com/thomaspark/bootswatch.git</code></p></li>
              <li><p>Install dependencies: <code>npm install</code></p></li>
              <li><p>Make sure that you have <code>grunt</code> available in the command line. You can install <code>grunt-cli</code> as described on the <a href="http://gruntjs.com/getting-started">Grunt Getting Started page</a>.</p></li>
              <li><p>Modify <code>variables.less</code> and <code>bootswatch.less</code> in one of the theme directories, or create your own in <code>/custom</code>.</p></li>
              <li><p>Type <code>grunt swatch:[theme]</code> to build the CSS for a theme, e.g., <code>grunt swatch:amelia</code> for Amelia. Or type <code>grunt swatch</code> to build them all at once. </p></li>
              <li><p>You can run <code>grunt</code> to start a server, watch for any changes to the LESS files, and automatically build a theme and reload it on change. Run <code>grunt server</code> for just the server, and <code>grunt watch</code> for just the watcher.</p></li>
            </ol>

            <h1 id="api">API</h1>
            <p>You can use the API to integrate the themes with your platform. Get:</p>
            <p><a href="https://bootswatch.com/api/3.json">https://bootswatch.com/api/3.json</a></p>
            <p>This returns an object with a <code>version</code> and a <code>themes</code> property. <code>themes</code> is an array with the following properties:</p>
            <ul>
              <li><code>name</code></li>
              <li><code>description</code></li>
              <li><code>preview</code></li>
              <li><code>thumbnail</code></li>
              <li><code>css</code></li>
              <li><code>cssMin</code></li>
              <li><code>cssCdn</code></li>
              <li><code>less</code></li>
              <li><code>lessVariables</code></li>
            </ul>
            <p>Here's a <a href="http://jsbin.com/momonupayu/1/edit?html,js,output">demo</a> of the API in action.</p>
